Milk Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Gradually beat in flour mixture and milk. Stir in morsels, oats and raisins. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until edges are crisp but centers are still soft. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes, remove to wire racks to cool completely.

When I baked them, I did not have enough chocolate chips, so, because there was cinnamon spice in the batter, I added cinnamon chips to make up the difference. Anna Carlson
Scandinavian Treats
Swedish Almond Cake
Recipe came from the pan
the pan came from Little Scandinavia in Elkhorn, NE
1 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sifted flour
Pinch of salt
2/3 cup finely chopped almonds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Add almond and vanilla extracts. In a separate bowl mix together flour, almonds, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix well.
Bake one hour.
Let stand for 5 minutes and then invert pan over pan to remove cake.
NOTE: If you don’t have the special pan, I think a loaf pan would work but you might need to check for doneness since the depth of your batter may be shallower or deeper.
